{% endhint %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select a job you wish to apply to

Click on a job you wish to apply to. The job details will open up on the right:

<figure><img src="https://620615177-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FcMVr1tcqZLg9WCEj5GgZ%2Fuploads%2FrCZsBsBBQ2ocYeD2EzaY%2Floreshot-20260109-123032%402x.png?alt=media&#x26;token=38eb90dc-31b8-40a6-a6bd-1a93a74e3650" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can make the job full screen by clicking on the <img src="https://620615177-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FcMVr1tcqZLg9WCEj5GgZ%2Fuploads%2FMYJTJfkr3JLl23Any7Pi%2Floreshot-20260109-123222%402x.png?alt=media&#x26;token=190d3bf1-f562-457e-87ac-0acebc4299e7" alt="" data-size="line"> icon.

If the "Apply now" button is greyed out and you can't click on it, hovering over it will reveal the reason. Usually, you can't apply because you have not taken or passed the assessments required by the job. See the next step.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Take assessments (if required)

If the job requires you to take one or more assessments, click on them in the job details to begin taking the assessment.

Once you have taken the assessment(s) required by the job, you may still not be eligible to apply. This may happen if you got a score on the assessment that's lower than what's required by the job. In this case, if the assessment allows it, you may attempt retaking the assessment.

You may learn more about assessments on their page:

{% content-ref url="take-an-assessment" %}
[take-an-assessment](https://docs.scholars.net/how-to/take-an-assessment)
{% endcontent-ref %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Apply

If the "Apply now" button at the bottom of the job page is clickable, click on it to apply for the job.

There is no other action you can or should take at the moment regarding this job. You will receive an email if you are selected with further information.

## Frequently asked questions

<details>

<summary>I have applied for a job but I haven't heard back in a while. What should I do?</summary>

This is normal and expected. There is nothing additional you should do at this moment.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I check the Jobs page often, but there never are any jobs available for me. Why might that be?</summary>

Jobs are location-dependent. We only show you jobs that are available in your location. It's possible that in your specific location, no jobs are available yet.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why are the hourly rates shown as a range, rather than a specific, precise number?</summary>

Because hourly rates vary by location, years of experience of the candidate, and other factors.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Once I have applied to a job, can I take my application back?</summary>

No. That said, applying to a job does not bind you to actually complete the job. You are bound to complete the job only if, after the application, you are selected and you sign the job's legal documents. You can therefore simply reject the offer that is sent to you (if any) after the application.
